Zac riding carousel

Zac together with me and hubby went to Glass Festival last Saturday. He had a blast! He rode the carousel and train and never get scared! He actually rode the carousel twice hehe. He is so brave and adventurous. Here is a pic of him with his daddy riding the carousel. They did not allow me to ride with Zac because I am pregnant .

How did the family feud turn American Chopper from a failed television series to one of the most popular ones?

I appreciate the guest post, Ricky Mcguire

I've been watching this series since it was just Orange County Choppers and the family all worked together. However, business moves sparked the split-up of the family leading to Paul Jr. starting his own shop right down the road from his own father who got him his start in building custom motorcycles.
The series was failing as the feud and arguments were just starting to simmer, but when things exploded into this split and lawsuits were filed, this series got split up from one team filming OCC to two teams filming family and business rivalry.
Behind the scenes, it's realistic and crazy at the same time. The camera crews even have to meet up in secret locations to get their paychecks, it's that big of a deal! It may have started out just a shop building custom motorcycles with their family, but it's now something that is bound to change the world of motorcycles forever.
Quick Note: I get this on a premium HD channel through direct star tv, it's not available on regular television. So if you want to catch it, you have to make sure you can watch American Chopper.

A new twist on kiddie pool time to enertain my kids

Guest post written by Stacy Lewis

My kids get really bored easily. I guess that they probably got that from me, but that also makes entertaining my kids quite the chore. It's a chore that takes so much time and trouble because of it. Summer is probably the hardest for that because I have to entertain them all day. But sometimes I enjoy all the creativity that this requires.

I was online a few weeks ago trying to figure out some new summer activities for us to do together as a family and while I was doing that I saw the site www.internetservicehouston.com/. I read it and after that I decided to sign our internet service up for it.

I found a new way to spruce up kiddie pool time. I pulled all of our pool toys out into the pool and made kind of a fort with the floats. Needless to say it was a huge hit and I've had to do it a few more times since then to keep my kids entertained and happy.

Zac is my little hero!

WOW! it has been awhile since the last time I updated this blog. I was so busy and I forgot my password and didn't bother to recover it til today hehe. Anyway, Zac is getting bigger and bigger now. He just had his 18 month visit to his pedia yesterday. His pedia said he is actually "very tall" for his age. Well, we are not wondering about that because his dad is 6'2 and his grandpa is 6'5. I am just thankful that he didn't get the Filipino height lol!

Anyway, Greg and I came up with an idea just to see on how Zac would react. Greg pretended like he was beating me up and I pretended crying and looked helpless. When Zac saw us he came to Greg and started hitting his daddy's face lol! and when Greg stopped beating me, Zac came to me. He hugged me and kissed me. Greg said "Well done Zac!". He is my little hero!!

"Data" means milk

It has been awhile since the last time I updated this blog. I was busy with random things that I didn't had any time to visit this blog. But anyway, I am happy that I have something to add to "Zactionary". I like Zac to learn how to speak our language in the Philippines which is "Tagalog" so I am teaching him little by little. Last week, I taught him the word "gatas" which means "milk". Since he is still young, he pronounce it as "da-ta". He is so cute every time he say that word. This afternoon, I noticed that he was sucking his pointy finger which is a sign that he is wants some gatas, I told myself "I'll just give him gatas after 10 minutes". All of a sudden, he kept saying "Data! data! data!" over and over. I was happy and surprised because he finally could say what he wants! Yippee! I am glad that he is learning more and more as he grow. I am so proud of you Zac :)

Behaved Zac

I was happy about how Zac behaved in the restaurant yesterday and the other day. Yesterday, we celebrated my aunt-in-law's birthday at Arts Restaurant and Zac behaved for 3 hours. He kept on walking and running in the restaurant though which is fine for me because I want him to have more freedom. He ate lots of spagetti and that time, I came prepared. I brought his bib so he won't stain his shirt on eating hehe.

A day before yesterday, we went shopping with my dad-in-law and at the end of the day, we went to Golden Corral to have dinner. Zac was so behaved and one old woman approached him while he was busy eating and told him how cute he is. Zac is most of the time a good baby. He loves to talk and laugh. He will get into things out of curiosity so I always have to keep an eye on him.

"Bow"

I taught Zac on how to bow. He look so cute every time he bows lol!

Spending time with daddy

My hubby loves to play and tickle Zac and Zac loves to play and be tickled by his daddy. During the "Zac-Daddy time" I grab my digital camera to capture the happy time :)

Zac having fun in the snow.

We had a terrible ice storm here in Indiana and some county had power outage. When the storm left, I decided to go in our backyard with Zac for him to see and feel the snow and ice. I could not believe how he liked the snow. He slipped several times because he kept on running thinking he was walking on land or on the floor hehe. He touched the snow and he gave me a facial expression of "What is this?" then he smiled and "I like it though".

Zac in motion

Zac is so unstoppable now in getting into stuff. I always keep my eye on him because it is hard to know on what he will get into next.

Zac at the Pizza Hut

"I got bored waiting on my mommy, grandpa, aunt, uncle and my 2 cousins on eating at Pizza Hut so my mommy let me loose because I made some noises because of boredom. I decided to tour around the restaurant and there where other customers at the restaurant who said "hi" to me. The cooks and waitresses in the kitchen saw me too and they said that I am a cutie. I didn't get scared walking around the restaurant because I knew that mommy was following me. While I was walking, mommy grabbed her camera and took a video of me. Here is the video."

Zac's first haircut

"Mommy chopped my hair so I could see better. My hair keep on poking my eyes and my ears so she decided to snipped my hair". They say that mommy did a good job and I am happy that I don't have to scratch my ears because of my hair".

Zac and the "Sawsaw Suka"

This is a video of Zac doing the "Sawsaw suka". It was so amazing how he quickly learned how to do it as I only taught him only once.

"Zactionary"

What is Zactionary?

Zactionary is a dictionary of the words used by my son Zachary.

Zac's first word is "ba-ba". "Ba-ba" means goodbye or bye-bye. He likes saying ba-ba every time I say "bye" to the person I am talking on the phone. Normally he say it after I hang up the phone. But lately, he keep on saying "ba-ba" every time the phone rings lol!

Zac and the trash can

I was in Zac's room this afternoon folding his clothes while he was walking around his room. I came into an idea of teaching him on how to throw trash in the trash can. I was happy though that he easily got the idea on how to do it. After few minutes, I continued folding his clothes and decided to turn the TV on. The thing is, I couldn't find the remote control. I looked under the bed and under the blanket but still couldn't find it. So I figured Zac got the controller. I asked him although I already knew that he can't talk and tell me where it is so I just continue looking for it and guess where I found it, in the trash can! lol! I found it there together with one of his toy, his clean diaper and his jacket. Now I can't stop him from throwing stuff in the trash bin lol! I so love him :)
